Major wildfires around Los Angeles on Wednesday left an apocalyptic wake of destruction after strong winds ripped through the mountains and foothills.
The fast-moving fire broke out in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday night, threatening one of Los Angeles' most iconic spots as firefighters battled to get under control three other major blazes that killed five people, put 130,000 people under evacuation orders and ravaged communities from the Pacific Coast to inland Pasadena.
It all began on Tuesday, when powerful winds took small fires and made them huge, with vivid orange flames lighting the sky in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
